Drive Information
OS device name: /dev/sr1
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BD-RW BDR-XD05
Revision: 3.01
Serial number: *snip*
Firmware date: 2014-12-26
Bus encryption flags: 1B

LibreDrive Information
Status: Enabled
Drive platform: RS8231
Firmware name: PIONEER BDR-XD05
Firmware type: Original (unpatched)
Firmware version: 3.01/ID34
DVD all regions: Yes
BD raw data read: Yes
BD raw metadata read: Yes
Unrestricted read speed: Yes
This appears to match what others have had success with, so I'm hopeful! I would like to note I'm on Linux and I'm very comfortable using `sdftool` if it's just a matter of flashing a particular file. I just haven't been able to find that information for this specific drive anywhere. I look forward to any guidance you can provide!
PM is coming.
